Brad Pitt's Exhausting Night Shoots Amidst Robert Redford’s Funeral Plans
Brad Pitt's Tumultuous Life: Exhaustion on Set, Divorce Drama, and a Scandalous Family Funeral
The Hollywood spotlight has been shining bright on Brad Pitt as he navigates his latest film project, "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's critically acclaimed "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." However, amidst the glamour of Tinseltown, Pitt's personal life is still reeling from the aftermath of his high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie.
Pitt, 61, was spotted on set looking utterly exhausted as he filmed a night scene for "The Adventures," which also stars Timothy Olyphant and Elizabeth Debicki. The movie marks a reunion for Pitt with director David Fincher, who previously worked with him on "Se7en" (1995) and "Fight Club" (1999). But what's really got everyone talking is Pitt's recent loss: the passing of his longtime friend and mentor, Robert Redford.
The two-time Oscar winner was seen sporting a shaggy wig and baggy blue jeans as he filmed alongside Canadian actress Lauren Glazier. It's clear that Pitt is still mourning the loss of his dear friend, who left an indelible mark on Hollywood with his iconic films like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) and "The Sting" (1973).
But Redford's family is reportedly keeping things private – no red carpets or cameras allowed at the upcoming funeral in Utah. A spokesperson for the Redford estate told The Scholarly Note that they're asking everyone to respect their wishes for a quiet, family-only celebration.
Meanwhile, Pitt's own personal life remains under scrutiny. His ex-wife Angelina Jolie is still refusing to settle the custody battle over their six children – despite her initial offer to put the drama behind them. Sources close to the couple reveal that Jolie backed out of the agreement due to a mandatory non-disclosure clause.
The drama between Pitt and Jolie has been brewing for years, with reports surfacing about their 2016 physical altercation on a private jet. Their son Pax, 21, even took to social media to call his father a "world-class a**hole" in an explosive rant that was later revealed by The Scholarly Note.
Pitt's recent real estate deals have also raised eyebrows. He sold his three-bedroom Los Feliz home to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood castmate Austin Butler for $5.2 million – just months after it was broken into by thieves. And, as The New York Times reported, Pitt dropped a whopping $12 million on a six-bedroom Hollywood Hills estate from The Killers guitarist Dave Keuning.
But what really gets under the skin is that Jolie has been selling off their joint assets without Pitt's approval – including her 50% stake in their 1,200-acre winery Château Miraval in France. The property is reportedly worth a staggering $164 million, and Pitt has launched a lawsuit to block Jolie from liquidating the estate.
As the drama unfolds, sources close to the couple reveal that Pitt's children are not exactly eager to spend time with him either. Their daughters Zahara (20) and Shiloh (19) have publicly dropped their father's surname Pitt from their names, while son Maddox (24) got into a physical altercation with Pitt on that infamous 2016 private jet.
It seems like Pitt's personal life is more drama-filled than his latest film roles. But what about the rumors surrounding Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie reprising their iconic roles as Rick Dalton and Sharon Tate in Tarantino's sequel?
Only time will tell if Pitt can put the spotlight back on his acting career – but for now, it seems like his personal life is still very much under the microscope.
Recent Projects:
- Pitt recently wrapped up filming "Heart of the Beast" alongside J. K. Simmons and Anna Lambe.
- He executive produced Ronan Day-Lewis' drama "Anemone," starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Bean, which hits limited US theaters on October 3 before a wider release on October 10.
The Real Estate Scandal:
Pitt's recent real estate deals have raised eyebrows – from selling his three-bedroom home to Austin Butler for $5.2 million to buying a six-bedroom Hollywood Hills estate from Dave Keuning for $12 million. But what really gets under the skin is that Pitt and Jolie are still locked in a custody battle over their youngest children, fraternal twins Vivienne and Knox – who will turn 18 next July.
As the drama unfolds, one thing's clear: Brad Pitt's personal life is more scandalous than any Hollywood script.
